Light GTR mods
Just got my car back from Revolution Speed Shop in Auburn, WA. The plan was to get it ready for track days.








Rims are BBS LM-R built to OEM spec by AR Motorwerkz high quality work, even with Covid nearly done on time. Tires are the ROW Michelin Cup 2 ZP, brake pads Pagid RSC1's from Northstar Motorsport's in Illinois, Titanium brake shims from Yperion Titanium, Brake ducts fron and rear from Ansix auto, Roll bar from RSR Studio in Cali, great fit and finish.
Removing the secondary cats gave it a great sound, not to loud, just right, more pops and bangs. Should have it on track next week weather depending. I'll update my experience.

I appreciate all the enthusiast in this forum. Thanks for looking and dont hesitate to share your thoughts.

Great work on the car! Looks fantastic.

Any information you could share on the Yperion brake shims? Did you put Pagid RSC1 for both front/rear?

Not a lot to say about the shims other than fit and finish was perfect. Yes, Pagid front and rear. Thanks

Nicely done!
I’ve done similar things to my GTC including the Ansix front brake ducts which work really well btw. I didn’t know they have rear ducts. Any pics of the rears? Enjoy!

I had the roll bar powder coated to match the calipers originally. Once it arrived I chickened out, opting for more of an OEM look.

Man, that rollbar looks sweet! Purely bolt on? Or welding as well?
